Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lakeland Highlands, FL
Can the odor be fully removed?
Often yes, when the source is treated. Urine that soaked into subfloors and walls has to be removed or sealed, and covering the smell with fragrance does not last. The team can say what is likely once it has seen the home.
What is animal hoarding cleanup?
It is the cleaning of a home after too many animals were kept in it to be cared for well. Crews in protective gear remove waste and soiled materials, scrub, disinfect and treat odor. The animals are handled first by an agency such as animal control or a rescue group.
What happens to deceased animals found in the home?
They are handled with care and disposed of properly, as local rules require. The cleanup team can explain how this is done and which agency to contact if needed.
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
What does the owner need to do before calling?
Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.
